Well good question. From what i have read on her FB page shes doing well. We are separated in process of divorce. She either had a psychotic break or a very bad reaction to high doses of steroids. She turned into a person i do not recognize very mean, manipulative and evil.
@kmekate707 let me offer you some insight on strange medical articles about nicotine patches.
I have UC. So, I tried the nicotine patch lowest dosage. 7mg. That caused serious diarrhea in 1 hour after putting it on. Then, I cut a patch in half. 3.5mg and could not sleep all night.
I monitored my blood pressure and pulse with use. My pulse remained 10-20 points higher than my base. It caused diarrhea. So, fluid loss too.
If nicotine is a stimulant then I see it increases my circulation. I was more active on 3.5 mg. Which could be good for blood flow throughout my body, to my brain, to my heart, and limbs. However, is it actually helping my UC? Nope. It actually seemed to guide me into a flare.
Be cautious, it should have helped. Did not. Maybe my body sees it as a poison.
Read the medical journals, research from NIH. And, it sounds like it might work on the gut brain axis of your immune system, but in real life you might just end up with energy and a flare.
